I actually have tried this in a experiment to see if Salt can kill invasive fungi like Toadstools. While it does kill the fungi by changing the soil properties, it also kills other plants in the affected area. It's basically a double-edged sword if you want to use salt.

Yes, salt can kill mushrooms. In fact, it's use as a killer of vegetation is ancient. But it has to be used in sufficient quantities. One of the side effects of its use as a natural killer is death to all other vegetation, desired or not, in the immediate area.
